Hello,
First time posting, please don't think I'm nuts but..
My friend is telling me there is a kind of holder for pellets so that you can burn them in a normal fireplace. Does anyone know where to buy such a thing? You somehow pour the pellets into this thing and light them right in the fireplace.
Thanks,
Bruce
 
Why would you want to burn pellets in an open fireplace? your not going to get any heat out of it. I mean comeon is this another gag perpetuated by some guy with a shear and a welder? I've heard they "can" work in a stove.

Look at the link and see that a pellet company came up with it. Sell them pellets. Sell them pellets.
